"Cuts to SNAs and Special classes in Cavan and Monaghan are cruel and will have a devastating impact on children."
That's according to Cavan-Monaghan TD Cathy Bennett.
The Sinn Fein TD says SNAs do incredible work every day, helping young people learn, take part, feel included, and reach their full potential.
Deputy Bennett has been speaking to parents, teachers, and SNAs who are deeply worried because of the huge difference this support makes in children's lives.
Speaking to Northern Sound, Deputy Bennett believes government must stop these cuts now and guarantee that every child with additional needs gets the support they deserve, and that SNAs can continue their vital work without worrying about losing their jobs.
